Readonly on Password-protected Documents (was: NewWikiMainPage)

[imacat <im...@mail.imacat.idv.tw>]

Dear Phil,

    Reading again, I found that this is unrelated to Wiki.  I renamed
the subject.

    I cannot verify this on my 3.4.0, 3.3.0 and 3.2.1, Debian linux
x86_64.  What OpenOffice version and OS version are you using?

To make changes I need to "Copy and Paste" make the changes, and then re-save with password protection which changes it back to "Read Only". Is there a way to password protect , but not have the document as "Read Only" when next opened.
